I agree.
Mid-engine would be awesome.
I've owned an MR2 and driven an NSX, and loved the handling of these light mid-engine cars.

. . . then again, I really feel that I have a good chance in a wreck with the 1.0, and would hate to loose that.

I do love that batmobile look that you have captured in the 2.0.

Thanks for posting, Eric, it's an honor to have the designer of my favorite material possession on this forum.
